3 Zhabei Park reopens

The renovated western section of 72-year-old Zhabei Park, the oldest park in Jing’an, reopened this month after eight months’ work.

The 5.7-hectare western section holds the park’s major attractions.

A new drainage system that collects and purifies rainwater has been installed in accordance with the city’s “sponge city” concept of water management.

Historical structures such as the tomb of Song Jiaoren, a Chinese revolutionary and founder of the Kuomintang, retain their original appearance. Riverside corridors and pavilions have been given a facelift in the style of a traditional Chinese garden.

The park’s eastern section, featuring a water lily pond and a children’s play area, will be closed for renovation now that the western section has reopened.

The park, located at 1555 Gonghexin Rd, is open from 5am to 10pm every day from May to October, and from 6am to 9pm every day from November to April.
